Here is a pic of me beating one of those aftermarket 421sbc's. I just wish the camera would have been on the other side of the track

I was at a buddies house making a copy of the video from that weekend and that run was on the tape. Looked like you were a bit behind at about the 660 but caught him by the end. By the way, I'm the guy that was running the black primer 70 chevelle that was talking to you in the staging lanes. Great run, it's always fun to beat the full-race cars.

So how much HP does it take to get the front tires off the ground a few inches in a 3800 Lb car??
Think my TA might do it if i had some skinnies and a few hundred pounds off the Front.
Goatman are we having Twisting issues ?? LOL that is a bad ass pic Daddy Like hehe.

Use a floor jack so the front suspension is fully unloaded. Then you can easily adjust to the desired heigth!
Plus its easier to clone out one small jack instead of to ramps

Ok...this was the best I could do on motor. Did not have time to test with the gas. THe car is still not performing well or responding to changes in jetting. Think I will try a TorkerII and 850 next time out. I think this was the 10.55 pass.
